Craig Johnstone, BACP

Craig Johnstone offers support for people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, addictions and trauma. He also helps with relationship and family concerns, eating issues, parenting strain, anger, self-esteem and career changes. Craig welcomes LGBT clients and those coping with compassion fatigue or major life transitions.

Craig uses a client-centred way of working. That means he listens first and follows the person in front of him. Sessions focus on what matters to the individual, rather than forcing a set programme. Conversations aim to be practical and respectful, with room to talk about feelings, decisions and next steps.

He has three years of experience and is listed with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. That registration is shown as BACP when credentials are noted. Craig’s background includes supporting people through losses, addictive behaviour and difficult life turns.

Sessions are shaped around each person’s needs. Craig works to create clear, achievable goals and helps clients try out different ways of coping between meetings. He explains options plainly and checks in about progress as therapy continues.

How client-centred therapy can work online

Client-centred therapy focuses on the person rather than a fixed set of techniques. The therapist listens closely, reflects what is heard and follows the client’s pace. This approach is helpful for anxiety, depression, grief and life changes where people need space to make sense of their feelings.

Working this way online means conversations still centre on the client’s concerns. The therapist and client agree on goals together and adjust the work as they go. Finding the right approach is part of therapy, and the therapist will help decide what fits best for the client’s situation and preferences in a collaborative way.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions around work, education or family commitments and can reduce travel time. It also allows clients in different countries to connect with a registered professional without relocating, while keeping the focus on practical support and steady progress.
